 Send to email | AOL: Ramping Up Web Site For Young Women in TWX |  By Silicon
el 18-Apr-2008 |
aol.jpg: Paste this image in your site, Myspace, Facebook, Ebay copy this code...
 Next up on AOL's Web launch slate: it looks like it's going to be a site for youngish women. MediaPost noticed a job listing on JournalismJobs.com for "a new women's lifestyle site" seeking an editor with "at least five years of editing experience and an old box of Sassy mags in her mom's attic."
AOL (TWX) declined to comment, but recall programming EVP Bill Wilson recently said AOL plans to exceed last year's pace of 20-30 new site launches in 2008. This one sounds like a female version of Asylum, the site for men launched in December, or a younger version of Yahoo's Shine, launched last month. But you be the judge:

Description:
A new women's lifestyle site is looking for an editor in New York City
with a broad range of interests, strong writing voice, at least five
years of editing experience and an old box of Sassy mags in her mom's
attic.
Topics covered on
the site include style (fashion, makeup and home d cor), pop culture,
food, health, female-focused politics, bargain tips, relationship
advice, sex, how-to and humor. (We're looking for someone who doesn't
need an extra blue book to tactfully explain why Renee Zellweger is
endearing yet freaky, and Amy Sedaris is freaky yet brilliant.)
The role requires a
start-up mentality, dedication, focus under pressure, self-sufficiency,
and the ability to manage multiple tasks at once.
Responsibilities
include: Managing the flow of copy from freelance writers to
publication; Line editing 7 to 10 posts a day, five days a week; Line
editing 3-5 features a week; Managing the calendar of content for the
site; Ensuring that writing captures the humorous, insightful tone of
the site; Coordinating copy editing of the posts and features;
Conceiving and programming compelling and interactive features and
articles.
The person filling
this role should have at least 5 years of women's lifestyle editorial
experience (preferably online) and be familiar with what makes content
on the web sticky, good for SEO, and drive important business metrics.
(When applying, feel free to toss around other buzzwords that might
impress and/or confuse us.) Ability to work with HTML, Photoshop, Adobe
Illustrator, Excel and familiarity with AP style are all a plus. (Yeah,
we're actually serious about that last part.)
